POGOSTEMON DECCANENSIS – Elegant, Delicate Aquarium Plant from India
Pogostemon deccanensis is an elegant, ornamental aquarium plant from India, prized for its fine, delicate light-green needle-like leaves. This stem plant grows at a moderate rate and, while relatively easy to cultivate, thrives best with sufficient lighting and CO₂ supply. Perfect for the background area, Pogostemon deccanensis can reach up to 40 cm in height, creating striking visual contrasts when paired with red or brown-toned plants in aquascaping. For a thicker, more compact look, it is recommended to prune plant groups heavily; the stems will soon produce new side shoots, enhancing the bushy appearance.
